My brows have a blunt way of reminding me of my self-neglect by simply growing. It didn't matter what direction they pointed to - just that they grew. And grew. To the point where I didn't recognize myself when I stared at the mirror, when I could afford more than a quick glance at my …

Blogger. Tweeter. Photographer. Makeup nut. And learning how to have fun with all four while battling the lifelong illness that is depression.

It’s THAT Time of the Year
Where Tarte and Too Faced try to outbid each other as to who can pop out the most makeup product(s) for the holiday gift giving craze (with Urban Decay coming in fast from left field), there's a big push to post the best holiday look (and inadvertently creating a sense of anxiety to meet or …
BAFT / TRE : Reading Really IS Fundamental
Today's entry was prompted by a quick glance at this little bugger below: I picked this up during the good ol' days when e.l.f. standalone stores still existed (Pepperidge Farm remembers). This particular foundation was designed for people with oily skin (and I wasn't too fond of the other type of foundation that was available. …
Frank on Depression: Makeup Edition
Is it possible to be depressed from makeup? Yes. Yes it is. Maybe depressed isn't the right word, but I definitely don't feel the joy of makeup anymore... at least, not like in the beginning. And I have to remind myself that I can't always be euphoric with makeup - it's not healthy. And someone …
Still Here!
Just dropping a quick entry to say hello, and if you're affected by the heatwave, that you're okay. It's really hot. I've also been on whirlwind adventures, with one involving a glam-up that miraculously withstood the humidity of the Philippines.
So much for shutting down…
So my pops had an emergency surgery recently, which was quite scary in the sense that it was definitely unplanned and very necessary. In all the chaos that followed, I haven't filmed. And the clusterfuck that tagged behind has me reconsidering the plan to shut down the YT channel.
Life Update 4: YouTube, Work+School, Etc.
Ah, YouTube. How you used to be on a pedestal for many who were sick of regular TV. Now, you can't think of the platform without being made painfully aware of the controversies that hover over it like a dark cloud. You may or may not know it, but I have a YouTube channel too! …
WWR: Mally Beauty Nude Attitude
The first time I became aware of Mally Beauty was when my cousin and I visited Ulta and we happen to wander by the shelf space that the brand occupied. My cousin told me that her maternal aunt used their products via QVC and that it worked well for her. At that point, I felt …
The IMATS 2018 Deets
That I forgot to dish on. This one got put on a backburner in the midst of quitting my Pharmacy Technician job, flying back to my birth country, and finding work again as soon as I flew back (I actually was unemployed when I flew out), and my grandpa's health scare. To quote Morton Salt: …
Makeup I Thought I’d Love Forever # 1
But time proved me wrong and removed those rose-colored glasses. This first of many entries in this series (I really need to keep track of how many of these I've created) features two makeup products that weren't as great as I thought they were. I really thought I'd love the products mentioned in this series …
